About Your Server Module Shipment
Standard configurations for Oracle’s Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module are
assembled at the factory and shipped ready for installation in a Sun Blade 6000
Series chassis. Optional server module components that you purchase independent
of the standard configuration are shipped separately and, in most cases, should be
installed prior to installing the server module into the chassis.
Locations of Server Module Optional Components
FIGURE 1-1 shows the locations of the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module optional
components that are documented in this chapter.

Configurations
The following standard components are shipped on the Sun Blade X6270
M2 Server Module:
• Service Processor (SP) – One SP per server. SP provides remote
keyboard, mouse, and video functionality, IPMI baseboard management
controller (BMC) functionality, and interfaces to the chassis monitoring
module (CMM). The SPs and CMM work together to form a complete
server module and chassis management system.
• Indicators and Buttons – The Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module
includes standard service indicator LEDs and buttons.
• Flexible I/O Network Connectivity – Supported I/O network
connectivity can include these optional components: fabric expansion
module, chassis network express modules, and chassis PCI express
modules.
• Front Panel I/O Device Connection – The Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server
Module front panel provides a universal connection port for attaching
devices directly to the server using a dongle cable.
Servers are typically ordered and shipped with preinstalled memory and
CPU configurations. The preinstalled memory and CPU assemblies
offered (and shipped) for the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module include:
The following optional server module components can be ordered and
shipped separately:
• CPU assembly options
• DDR3 memory kits
• SATA and SAS storage drives
• Dongle cable option
• Fabric Expansion Module (FEM) options
• RAID Expansion Module (REM) options
• Operating system software
• Printed documentation - Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module InstallationGuide (821-0495)

Server Module Specifications
Physical Specifications
The Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module is 12.9 x 20.1 x 1.7 inches in a 1U form
factor. The server module is designed to be installed in a Sun Blade 6000 Modular
System chassis. For additional specifications regarding the Sun Blade 6000 Modular
System, refer to the chassis documentation.

Module.

Electrical Specifications
The Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module connects to a Sun Blade Modular System, or
chassis, which provides 12V main power to each server module, as well as cooling
through fans. In addition to the 12V main power, the chassis provides 3.3V AUX
power to each server module to power the local FRU ID EEPROM. This 3.3V AUX
power enables the chassis monitoring module (CMM) to query each server module
slot prior to 12V main power and 12V fan power application to validate that there is
sufficient power and cooling to support the server modules installed in the chassis.

Server Module Installation Task
Checklist
TABLE 1-4 summarizes an ordered list of tasks that you must perform to properly
install the server module into a Sun Blade 6000 Series Modular System.
Note – If the Sun Blade X6270 M2 Server Module is inserted into a Sun Blade 6000
Modular System chassis that has SAS-1 Network Express Modules (NEMs), or SAS1 NEMs and a Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module, the server module’s SAS-2 REM might
hang. To prevent this problem, you need to upgrade the firmware of your SAS-1
components (SAS-NEMs and disk modules) to a firmware version that supports
SAS-1/SAS-2 coexistence. This upgrade must be done before you insert the Sun
Blade X6270 M2 Server Module into the chassis. At a minimum, all SAS expanders
for SAS-1 NEMs and Sun Blade 6000 Disk Modules must be upgraded to firmware
revision 5.04.03 to allow SAS-1/SAS-2 device coexistence in the Sun Blade 6000
Modular System chassis. See the SAS-1/SAS-2 Compatibility Upgrade Guide (821-1800)
for details on obtaining the firmware and performing the upgrade.
